Just a few years ago, Tootsie started rolling out fun seasonal versions of their classic DOTS candies.\u00a0 One of the coolest variety they’ve created are their Halloween DOTS, and they’re back again this season.\u00a0\u00a0 Today I’m going to take a look at them.<\/p>\n

First up is the box for Ghost DOTS – these are the standard fruit-flavored DOTS but produced in a ghost-like semi-transparent color.\u00a0 Here’s the box:<\/p>\n

Holiday-themed offerings like these DOTS are fun for consumers and great for collectors, too.\u00a0 These packages have been offered for three years now without changes, but eventually these styles of boxes will be retired.\u00a0 For now, you can pick them up one more time, this Halloween season.\u00a0\u00a0 Next year, who knows?<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today’s coverage of Tootsie’s Halloween DOTS.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
